The Storyteller contains traditional and contemporary stories from all over the world, with notes for teachers and trainers on how the tales can be exploited. Other features include articles on the art of storytelling and shamanism as well as details of publications and services that might be of interest. The resources are provided free of charge and the costs are covered by the publisher - The Golem Press.
This issue features three contemporary stories, together with an article on an approach to teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages that also focuses on Personal Development. The photo is of a painting by the Georgian artist Maka Batiashvili.
